"It's good that you and I are alive and well, but if you are so disrespectful in front of the emperor, my father will be blamed when I know it. It's important. Liang Qin held back the sourness in his chest and slowly spoke, with a little hoarseness in his usually crisp and beautiful voice.

Liang Zhi nodded solemnly, and solemnly bowed to the emperor again, "The palace is out of order, and please don't blame the grass people." ”

The emperor looked at their appearance, his face was gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he only raised his hand: "You are the son of Liang Qing, how can you call yourself a grass citizen." Hurry up, you brothers and sisters haven't seen each other for a year, and they have all been trembling, and now that they meet, they have a lot to say. ”

When Liang Zhi heard such a sentence, he made up his mind.

It seems that the emperor has made up his mind to rectify Jiangnan, so he will say that he no longer has to call himself a grass people.

The Jiangnan case is widely implicated, but now the emperor's words mean that he decided to use him, the "son of a criminal minister", that is to say, the emperor intends to overturn the case for his father Liang Gongyi!

Once his father was wronged, he could naturally enter the court and be the emperor's lonely minister. The emperor's words made his vain and restless heart all the way suddenly settle.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liang Zhi wanted to bow again, and the emperor waved his hand again and again, asking Pei Gu to drag him up.

The emperor looked outside again and asked, "Has the Marquis of Cheng'an arrived?"

Outside, Bao Zheng said calmly: "Cheng'an Hou has arrived, and I have been waiting for a long time." ”

"Come in, please. ”

After the emperor announced that Qin Weien entered the study, several people sat down, the atmosphere was solemn, even Liang Qin sat in a seat, the emperor's face was serious, and he slowly spoke: "Today, all of you are people I trust, and you all know what is going on." ”

Everyone said: "The ministers swear allegiance to the emperor." ”

Qin Yuan got up and explained the identities of Liang Qin and Liang Zhi to Qin Weien, and after a few people briefly saluted, the emperor asked Liang Zhi: "When Liang Qing found out what unsightly news in the Jiangnan officialdom, he was so poisoned?"

Liang Zhi said respectfully: "At first, I found out Liu Yunqing's private property, and it didn't make the Liu family shocked, but then my father found out. It's the water army in Hangzhou that is not moving right. ”

"Sailor?" the emperor said softly, "Now that the seaside port has been opened, the sailor only maintains the safety of merchant ships in various countries, and if there are Japanese invaders, they can only encircle and suppress them." Sailor, what can you do?"

He glanced at Qin Yuan as he spoke, Qin Yuan was silent for a moment, and said, "Yu Haoying, the governor of the Jiangnan Navy, is the nephew of the queen's mother. ”

The emperor snorted coldly: "I know that he is the crown prince's person!

Liang Zhi glanced at the emperor. Seeing that he didn't seem to be angry, he considered it and said: "Originally, it wasn't a big deal, but last year when I was wandering around the countryside with my father in disguise as a small servant, I happened to hear several villagers and women talking about each other.

The village was very close to the sea, and most of the strong men in the village were used as sailors, and several families, young and old, were comforting a young woman, saying: "In previous years, there were not a few people who were swept away by the current, but the current along the coast is not big, and if something big happens, Da'an's daughter-in-law should not panic." Da'an will be back in a few days. ’

The daughter-in-law who was called Da'an cried and said: 'Sisters-in-law, don't persuade me, I know that Da'an can't come back, I went to the sailor's yamen to ask for news, and they also said that the boat where Da'an was in was not deep, and after arresting and encircling the Japanese invaders, the boat was swept away by the current, and said that the sea was windy that day, and the boat was unstable in the direction of the current. With people and boats... It's all gone... Pity me for not being useful, I can't leave him a son, this is going to cut off the incense of our Zhang family. ’

My father had heard earlier that small boats were often blown away by the currents. I paid attention, stepped forward and asked what the direction of the sea current is usually, and the villagers with good faces said that the sea current along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is very complicated, going east in spring and summer, and north in autumn and winter. It was spring and summer, and the currents were naturally eastward. ”

Liang Qin was puzzled and asked, "What is this ocean current?"

Liang Zhi explained: "It is related to the direction of the wind in the four seasons, just like a river on the sea, it has its own direction. If it hadn't been for the villagers in that village, I wouldn't have known that there was something like a river on the sea. ”

Liang Zhi saw that everyone was still puzzled, so he continued: " Father on the heart, go back and ask someone to go to the sailor yamen to inquire about the news, it turns out that there will be such a thing every year, if the sailor's boat draft is not deep, there are not many people, it is extremely easy to be blown away, but the father also inquired, it is said that the name of Da'an, is a very good person in the sailor, the boat is unstable, but like Da'an, such a good hand, are placed on the main ship, my father was suspicious, so he continued to investigate, only to find that in the surrounding villages, such as Da'an's daughter-in-law's family abounds, are young and strong, the best hands in the sailor, land and water battles are powerful。

I found an excuse to borrow the roster of the sailor's yamen and the records of the ship's shipbuilding, only to find out that it was not a small boat that was blown away by the current, but an elite warship carrying 300 soldiers and armed with gold armor!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was shocked!

"How many lost warships have Liang Qing found, and how many soldiers are missing?" the emperor asked in a deep voice.

Liang Zhi was stunned, biting his lip, and his voice was astringent: "I didn't find out, but I just listened to what the residents of the coastal villages said, plus his guess, no less than 500 people disappeared in about a year, but he just found out some eyebrows, but he coincidentally found out that Liu Yunqing's private property was quite rich, and even the officials and businessmen colluded to smuggle seafood, and he was extremely greedy for ink, so his father put aside the matter of the sailor for the time being, and handed over Liu Yunqing's greed for ink, and then later——"

I couldn't speak.

Later, angered the Jiangnan family, Liang Gongyi "committed suicide in fear of crime", and his family was ruined.

Pei Gu muttered in a low voice: "I'm afraid that Lord Liang's estimate, five hundred people is still a minority, the combat power of the sailor is so strong, and the idle Japanese can not fight, I wonder if Lord Liang has found out the number of soldiers who died in the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese invaders?"

Liang Zhi's eyes lit up: "What Master Pei said is extremely true! Since the founding of the country was vigorously encircled and defeated, the Japanese have no strength to disturb the border, this is also what I have always been suspicious of, on the roster of the Sailor Yamen, there are indeed many soldiers who died in the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese Invaders, no less than 100 people per quarter. ”

Pei Gu faced the emperor and carefully counted the number of people: "The number of warships that 'float away' with the current every year is unknown, but the number is not less than five hundred, and the number of people who encircled and suppressed the Japanese was killed, not less than 100 people per quarter, and about four or five hundred people a year. ”

Liang Qin suddenly asked: "I have something to understand, if it is a warship that is blown away by the current, then the roster of the sailor's yamen can be fabricated, but how can the ship's roster be remembered?" (To be continued.) )
